Catie Connolly
Ph.D. Student in Education, admitted Autumn 2020
Graduate Teaching Consultant, Digital Learning Strategy
Grad Writing Tutor, Hume Center
Proofreader, Hume CenterBioAs a PhD candidate in Developmental and Psychological Sciences at Stanford, I study how early childhood experience, cultural background, and education shape children's social-emotional development. I use a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods, including surveys, interviews, and experimental tasks, to understand the development of core social-emotional skills like emotion regulation and executive functioning in ethnically-, culturally-, and socioeconomically-diverse child populations.
I am passionate about applying developmental science to inform educational policy and practice. My goal is to contribute to the advancement of knowledge and practice in early childhood education by working with students, parents, and teachers to create evidence-based and culturally-responsive curricula and interventions that will improve students' social-emotional outcomes and well-being. -
Arturo Cortez
Affiliate, Garcia Program
BioArturo Cortez, PhD (he/they) is a Visiting Scholar at the Stanford University Graduate School of Education. As a learning scientist, Dr. Cortez explores how justice- and future-oriented contexts of teaching and learning can support educators and young people to imagine beyond today’s injustices. In particular, he is interested in how intergenerational and transdisciplinary collaboratives speculate new possible futures, mediated by their participation with everyday technologies in gaming contexts, for example. As such, Dr. Cortez designed The Learning to Transform Technologies (LiTT) Lab to study how play-based learning environments encourage educators to engage in more symmetrical relationships with young people, while also developing expansive pedagogical models that center equitable relationship-building and robust collaboration. For the 2024-2026 academic years, Dr. Cortez was a National Academy of Education/Spencer Foundation Postdoctoral Fellow and a Visiting Scholar at the University of California, Davis School of Education. His research has been supported by the George Lucas Educational Foundation, the National Academy of Education, and the Spencer Foundation. Furthermore, Dr. Cortez is the recipient of the 2025 Jan Hawkins Award for Early Career Contributions to Humanistic Research and Scholarship in Learning Technologies from the American Educational Research Association (Division C). Dr. Cortez, a former public school educator, holds a Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley.
